I. INTRODUCTION

SL-1-IFP

A. REVIEW/TIE-IN

Lesson 9 focused on contingency mitigation strategies for pre-flight planning, hazardous weather regulations, the ICAO Volcanic Ash Contingency Plan, and how volcanic ash affects a jet engine.

In this lesson, we will address the responsibilities and guidance involved in flight planning and flight plan spot-check areas.

B. MOTIVATION

To be able to correctly and consistently issue Operations Specifications (OpSpecs), Management Specifications (MSpecs), and Letters of Authorization (LOAs) to operators and individuals desiring to operate in special areas of operation (SAOs) by thoroughly understanding flight planning-current and ICAO issues through consultation with your Regional NextGen SAO Specialist.




C. OVERVIEW

SL-2-IFP

In this lesson, we will discuss the following topics:

• Flight planning responsibilities

• Evaluation criteria for flight planning

• Flight planning guidance

• International Flight Plan (FPL)

• Flight Plan areas to spot-check

D. OBJECTIVES

SL-3-IFP

In accordance with published references listed in this lesson, and in keeping with your job functions, you will be able to:




• Explain the responsibilities of:

− the certificate holder

− dispatch

− flight planning vendor.

• Explain the evaluation criteria for international flight planning.

• Identify guidance and standards applicable to flight planning.

SL-4-IFP

• Identify all the authorizations noted on the International Flight Plan.

• Identify Flight Plan areas to spot-check.

Transition: Let’s take a look at some responsibilities of those involved in flight planning.




II. FLIGHT PLANNING RESPONSIBILITIES

SL-5-IFP

A. CERTIFICATE HOLDER

The certificate holder is responsible for the flight planning process to ensure the flight planning data is accurate.

B. FLIGHT PLANNING VENDOR

The flight planning vendor is not under regulatory oversight, but is responsible to the certificate holder.

The certificate holder is responsible for the flight planning product.

C. THIRD PARTY ORGANIZATIONS

Third parties can provide flight-planning tools, but they are not authorized to dispatch flights.




D. DISPATCHER

SL-6-IFP

The dispatcher and PIC under part 121 are responsible for:

• Flight planning considerations which include:

− Fuel Planning

− ATC Routing – navigation, predictive Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM), Required Navigation Performance (RNP) requirements

− Meteorology

III. EVALUATION CRITERIA FOR FLIGHT PLANNING

SL-7-IFP




A. FLIGHT PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS

Flight planning considerations include:

• Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs)

• Contingency Procedures – Equal Time Points (ETPs), ETOPS calculations, drift down, oxygen requirements, volcanic ash avoidance

• Minimum Equipment List (MEL)/ Configuration Deviation List (CDL) Requirements

• Aircraft Classification Number (ACN)/Pavement Classification Number (PCN) data

B. ICAO AIRPORT CODE NAMING CONVENTIONS

SL-8-IFP

Unlike IATA 3-letter airport codes, ICAO airport codes are 4-letter codes. The code naming convention is:

• First letter denotes the geographic region.

• The second letter usually denotes the country or sub-region using the local spelling of the country, i.e., “E” for España (Spain) or “D” for Deutschland (Germany) and PA = Alaska while PH = Hawaii.




− The contiguous United States and Canada are exceptions. The 2nd, 3rd and 4th letters are usually the IATA city code. For example, KATL is Atlanta, Georgia and CYYC is Calgary, Alberta.

• The 3rd and 4th letters are the city.

The letters I, J, X and Q are not used as geographic region identifiers although the letter Q is used for international radio-communication codes.

SL-9-IFP

PG, p.____ Note(s) to Instructor: • Ask the participants to turn to the ICAO airport

code naming convention pages in the participant guide.

• Review map and letter codes with the participants.

SL-11-IFP

C. SAO REQUIREMENTS

The dispatcher and PIC under part 121 Flag must also have:

• Knowledge of SAO requirements, including:




− OpSpecs

− CNS requirements

− Applicable regulations and ICAO Standards

These elements of flight planning for part 121 flag must still be considered for all other operations under FAR 91/91K, 121 supplemental, 125 and 135.

IV. FLIGHT PLANNING GUIDANCE

SL-12-IFP
